Guess what dumbasses, I still build things! I just never post anything. My camera was broken for a long time, but now my fancy-fuck phone actually has a good camera on it, so I can show off things like this!

I love the LEGO movie's adaptation of the Octan corporation as a privatized military force, so I'm in the process of building a faction of police dudes, octan stuff, and a bunch of cyber ninjas.

The armor skirting protects the treads from almost all fire from the front, but the flanks leave the treads somewhat exposed.

Here's the crew. The HMG that the gunner is carrying fits into the clips on either side of the cannon, and the side skirts on the turret actually give him pretty substantial cover.

Most of the height in this tank is in the suspension, which I adapted from one of the new Ninjago "tanks." The treads alone are as tall as a minifig, and the whole thing is 2.5 minifigs tall at the highest part of the turret. I built it last night in like... 3ish hours?

Super nice!I have actually been playing around with the idea of a Octan faction seeing that I have so many bricks with their logo printed on like Bonn-o-Tron. I never really completed it as I only have like 6 Octan minifigures.

Naturally the Octan faction uses a lot of Flamers and mechs to 'purge' miniral rich world of the native inhabitants. I can already imagine a awesome battle against armed environmentalists. The natives would be stuck in the middle trying to safe there soon to be ravaged village from the battle.

Same boat here. That's why I'm grabbing all the ninja and police-related figures I can to turn it into a super bleak corporate police-state. My version of Octan hires the best of the best to serve as a private "security" force that overrules local military and law enforcement. That way they can mine, steal and otherwise plunder all the fuel they'll ever need.

I'm gonna mix-and-match a bunch of the ninjago guys and the super-secret police from the LEGO movie sets with a bunch of classic ninjas and cops until I get a look that I like, but so far so good.

Maybe you should also through in some guys in octane uniforms, as the sort of regular security forces, also I really like the tank, nice work
